The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has issued an Amended Order expanding, through mutual acceptance by international regulators, the list of Legal Entity Identifiers (LEIs) that can be used by registered entities and swap counterparties in complying with CFTC’s swap data reporting regulations.
This means that registered entities and swap counterparties will no longer be required to solely use the CFTC Interim Compliant Identifiers (CICIs) provided by DTCC-SWIFT where certain conditions are met. This paves the way for the use of General Entity Identifiers (GEIs) recently issued by WM Datenservice a European utility which like CICIs are anticipated to become LEIs in the global system.
